• The Agenda Festival is not returning to Long Beach this year — here’s why

  22-05-2019 23:43
  
  Since 2012, the Agenda Festival brought cutting edge street fashion and action sports to Long Beach, but this summer, the event is packing up its stylish bags and heading to Las Vegas instead.
  Organizers of the event said they decided to cancel the June 28-29 Agenda Festival due to lack of participation from fashion and other industry brands who anchor the event as they set up pop-up shops at the Long Beach Convention Center.

• American consumers lose thanks to Trump’s efforts to ‘stand up to China’

  22-05-2019 23:21
  
  The latest escalation in President Trump’s trade war with China threatens to harm the economy and could even cause a stock market crash. On May 13, China announced it will increase tariffs on $60 billion in U.S. products in response to Trump administration’s recent imposition of a $200 billion levy on Chinese imports.
  This comes as no surprise amid rising tensions between the world’s two largest economies. President Trump spent much of his 2016 campaign vilifying China as a cur

• These countries are counterfeiting the most U.S. goods

  22-05-2019 22:38
  
  One of the reasons for the U.S.-China trade war is what U.S. authorities call the breadth of Chinese unfair trading practices and intellectual property theft to make cheaper goods.
  If you’re finding items for sale and the low prices seem like a steal, they probably are. Seizures of counterfeit intellectual property in 2017 had an estimated price tag of $1.2 billion to U.S. retailers.
  Enforcement of intellectual property laws is done by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigratio

• How far can the supermajority go to appease its activist base?

  22-05-2019 18:36
  
  The interesting thing about a supermajority is that it can’t say no.
  That is, it can’t say no to the activists and donors whose efforts put the supermajority into power. To everybody else, it’s a chorus of “no.” No straws. No single-family zoning. No gasoline-powered cars.
  When saying yes to the activists means saying no to the voters, the specialized skills of the professional elected official can be sorely tested.
